About Me

My photo
Jelan
I'm a wife, mother, and grandmother. I worked for IBM in a variety of roles for 33+ years and enjoyed almost all of it. I retired in 2010 and have loved every minute of it. I read widely, practice yoga, play the piano, volunteer, and spoil our grand kids. My husband and I see the world as much as time and pocketbook allow.
